"Are you avoiding me?" Anna kept talking as she followed Alan Wilson, "I think you just think I'm too old, and you're not enthusiastic at all now."
"I finally found an excuse to come." Alan Wilson turned around with a confused look, "I came here to have work, and it wasn't just to attend a completion ceremony. I never said you were older, either.
It seems to me that you are in pretty good shape."
The speed of aging cannot be generalized. Even white people who age faster than other races do not all lose sight when they reach their age. The proportion is a little less. But Alan Wilson is lucky? Can't say luck, Hedy Lamarr, Inge
Leigh Bergman and others are definitely not comparable to ordinary people because their basic conditions are different.
It’s not like there are no glamorous models in their fifties. Although Cindy Crawford is rare, it’s not a big problem at all for Ellen Wilson’s current level.
There is no authority to go to the church and swear that he has never disliked anyone because of his age. The little dragoon was simply making trouble unreasonably, "Then what are you busy with?"
"Replacement of heavy weapons for the Rhine Army." Alan Wilson replied helplessly, "In this way, I will definitely come back after the inspection and will never break my promise."
Anna puffed out her cheeks and nodded with a solemn expression. She finally managed to deal with the clingy dragoons, and Alan Wilson went to the British headquarters without any delay.
The Rhine Army is the most powerful legion of the British Army. It was adapted from the British Occupation Force. The British Army in West Berlin also belongs to the Rhine Army's combat sequence. The commander of the British Army in West Berlin has just been replaced. Alan Wilson is orderly
Prepare for Hessian value maximization.
His visit this time has nothing to do with Hess, but he is well aware of the heavy equipment replacement of the Rhine Army. The entire Rhine Army will be replaced with Challenger tanks, and the original Chieftain tanks equipped with Chobham armor will be sold to Iraq.
kingdom.
As a heavily armored army, the Rhine Army faced the presence of the Soviet troops stationed in Germany head-on. The entire army was equipped with thousands of tanks. Regardless of the size of the Soviet troops stationed in Germany, it could be regarded as the strongest ground group in the free world.
The replacement cannot be completed immediately, but the first batch of 200 tanks will set sail. The rest will also depend on the progress of the Iran-Iraq war. If everything goes well, there is nothing to say. If it turns into a historical situation, even if
The entire Rheinland Army was replaced, and even one-third of Iraq's needs could not be met. The rest was left to a certain big country.
The replaced Chieftain tanks, together with the Tornado fighter jets and the Eagle-class heavy aircraft carrier, were combined into a large arms sales order with a total price of 6 billion US dollars. Among them, the Eagle-class heavy aircraft carrier had reached the end of its service life as early as three years ago. It needs to be replaced.
Historically, the British dismantled it after trying to find a seller without success.
The world has been in service until 1981, and the cost of use will increase sharply in the future. Faisal II is about to use the sword of Iraq to win the land under the sun for Iraq. It depends on the political and business conflicts over the years.
The deep relationship established in the overseas islands and even sent to the Iraqi royal family. Alan Wilson, the cabinet secretary who was absolutely sincere in helping, could not ignore it.
Converted into pounds, it is a large contract of more than 2 billion, and it is also the largest arms sale to the UK after the war. It seems that two aircraft carriers with a full load displacement of 50,000 tons are included in the contract, but the issue of service life must also be considered.
Alan Wilson believes that once the arms sales contract is completed, the Kingdom of Iraq's claim to be the world's fourth military power will be more worthy of its name and will definitely be more powerful than Saddam in terms of hardware.
The arms sales contract, which is equivalent to the privatization of one million apartments, will also bring about innovation in Britain's domestic armaments. After deciding this matter at the headquarters of the Rhine Army, Alan Wilson continued to stay in Bonn for a day, dragging the whole country with him.
Physically exhausted, he returned to London.
In response to Mrs. Thatcher's call for Britain to start from a position of strength, he was really running around and breaking his heart. He even prepared to sell heavy aircraft carriers that he would not sell no matter how much money he paid.
"Dear, I don't understand." Pamela Mountbatten held her teacup and asked with confusion, "Will selling two heavy aircraft carriers destroy the regional balance?"
"Those two aircraft carriers will not be used for long." Alan Wilson said nonchalantly, "But we should find an excuse to persuade the House of Commons to start the design and construction of new aircraft carriers. This is the top priority, and the shipbuilding industry also needs it.
orders to maintain. Tornado fighter jets and Chieftain tanks are also considered in this regard."
"But the current situation of the country is not good." Pamela Mountbatten is a little worried. When the economy is not good, increasing military needs to increase job opportunities? It is not without precedent, but they are all counterexamples.
"Do you really think that the country's problems are so serious that the unemployed population cannot be solved?"
Alan Wilson replied lazily, "In fact, as long as immigration can reduce the unemployment population, we can't do that. The unemployed people must first have the ability to work. What kind of unemployed people are the elderly and children? If the country's middle-class labor force is used externally,
If immigration is solved, how will this country develop in the future?"
As a result of the country's inability to retain people, just look at the Democratic Republic of Germany, which couldn't stand being sucked into the Federal Republic of Germany, and will build the Berlin Wall.
The two million unemployed people cannot be solved by immigration. You can use immigration to create good-looking book figures, but you must not let them leave the UK.
"It seems that you only care about civil servants." Pamela Mountbatten knew her man very well. Since she had a way to deal with the unemployed but didn't use them, she would definitely take good care of the civil servants.
"The number of civil servants in Xiangjiang will be expanded." Alan Wilson replied calmly. He called David back just for this matter, to understand the current situation in Xiangjiang and to formulate new civil service policies.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the narrow sense, the number of civil servants will be expanded to 100,000, and welfare policies are also being formulated. In principle, they must surpass local welfare, and the advantages of retirement policies are even greater. Almost
There is nothing worse than local civil servants.
Now Hong Kong is in a stage of hot money influx. At this stage, people are generally in the process of making money in everything they do. In the next ten years, this influx of hot money due to the opening up of a certain big country will continue. Hong Kong has enough financial resources to support this trend.
decision making.
"The effect of the opening of a huge market will definitely make the development of Xiangjiang easier than that of Malaya. In this way, Xiangjiang's identity will be valuable. You can also use your brains on this."
"It seems that I should set up my headquarters in Xiangjiang instead of Shanghai." Pamela Mountbatten felt that things would not be so simple. Otherwise, her husband was cheating her. Xiangjiang is so good, but he asked her to set up his headquarters in Shanghai.
?Do you think you have too much wealth?
"I put you in the Magic City because the geographical location of the Magic City is really good, and Xiangjiang is an isolated island. The advantage of Xiangjiang is that you can evacuate at any time." Alan Wilson answered this question, saying that getting a ticket and running away is suitable for Xiangjiang and long-term operation.
Suitable for being in Magic City.
Although she is the richest man, the richest woman is an industrialist, so she is certainly suitable for being in the Magic City.
The Mountbatten family's wealth is being stripped away, and the non-physical parts are now being managed by the sweetheart of their parents, Albert's good sister, and what Arnold calls the "sleeping girl".
But for others, to be honest, Alan Wilson doesn't really believe in his daughter's abilities, and he feels that his daughter is increasingly becoming a senior bureaucrat in Brussels, a typical representative of which is the female president of the European Union in his mind.
The second cabinet reshuffle planned by Mrs. Thatcher finally began after the Conservative Party National Conference. The second cabinet reshuffle kicked out or demoted most of the cabinet ministers who dared to oppose Prime Minister Thatcher, and promoted or transferred
A large number of staff members who share her beliefs.
This political clean-up was a strategic victory for Thatcher.
In this reorganization, except for the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Industry, the positions of the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Interior have all been changed. As for the positions of other cabinet ministers, they have all been replaced by new faces. Mrs. Thatcher’s ambition
She proudly said to her adviser: "What a difference it feels when presiding over a cabinet where most people are on your side! By the way, where is the Cabinet Secretary."
"I heard he is losing his temper." The political consultant said with a wry smile, but he was obviously very taboo about this issue and did not want to talk more.
"What happened?" Mrs. Thatcher looked serious. Based on her understanding of the man, he had an unfathomable moral bottom line and this would not happen.
"Uh, Prime Minister, Sir seems to be explaining his relationship with the Prime Minister." The political adviser gave a vague and ambiguous answer.
At the cabinet meeting before this cabinet reshuffle, Mrs. Thatcher was faced with the siege of many colleagues. The cabinet secretary spoke up and persuaded the prime minister to expel the opposition from the cabinet.
At that time, Alan Wilson was still being attacked by cabinet ministers, attacking the cabinet secretary-general for interfering in cabinet decision-making. Now that Mrs. Thatcher has really driven the opponents out of the cabinet, there are rumors about the personal relationship between the prime minister and the cabinet secretary-general.
Rumors spread that No. 10 Downing Street was a mom-and-pop shop.
This is a shameful slander on the deep friendship between the Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister. It is a shameful rumor created by some unwilling opponents. This rumor has hurt the reputation of the Prime Minister.
"When cooperating with the new minister, we must unswervingly defend the interests of the country. Don't pay attention to the rumors about some losers' independence. Their behavior is very shameful, especially for a female politician."
Alan Wilson angrily denounced the despicable remarks made after the cabinet reshuffle at a meeting of permanent secretaries who will be working with the new ministers, saying, "Number 10 Downing Street is definitely not a mom-and-pop shop."
"The Iraqi Foreign Minister will arrive in London soon to finalize the arms sales contract. This is more important than dealing with rumors. The meeting is adjourned."
